💎 Insider Tips

⚡
Book a private custom boat charter (seats up to 4 passengers) from the Zhoujiajima terminal; the boatmen row manually using large wooden sculls.
⚡
Complimentary fresh hot Longjing green tea served inside traditional porcelain cups is fully included in the premium sculling package.
⚡
The boat routes track deep through the protected 'Deep潭 Mouth' sectors where schools of wild fish and rare nesting avians are highly active.
⚡
Ensure you check weather forecasts at the dock terminal building; trips can be temporarily suspended during heavy thunder or sea swell events.
